Are you in an open marriage or know someone who is in one? Is it working?

[TheLovelyWoman]

An open marriage is define as allowing either partner to sleep with other people of their choice.

[Finchie40]

I know a girl that is in one and her marriage is pretty much already over , she is buying her time to leave his ass. So open marriages are stupid to do , it’s just a matter of time before one of them falls in love with someone else and ends up leaving the marriage for good

[Nikki1989]

LMAO

[MrChinaski]

A departure lounge is not an open relationship. Relationships fail all the time for a million different reasons. Being open is rarely the main factor.

[beenherebefore]

Not in an open marriage. Not something we would do. I never met anyone who's in an open relationship to be honest. I had a friends with benefits in the past and honestly never liked the idea that he could be sleeping with someone else so I guess open relationships are not for me.

[TheLovelyWoman]

I think if both parties understand, it can work.

[beenherebefore]

Absolutely! I just never seen it happening probably because it's a recent form of partnership. You don't hear people of our parent's age mention such thing most people would find it repulsive. Is something very 'new' and we yet have to see what consequences it causes in one's relationship or individual.

[TheLovelyWoman]

Pm me
I went to share switching with you

[Nikki1989]

It will be 14 years this August, but we don't sleep around. We have our FMF threesomes but don't go beyond that.

[Nikki1989]

Funny how you always read “it never works” when it clearly does for some people. People should either choose words more carefully OR stop talking like idiots.

[MrChinaski]

So... there are 90 percent of people that are never going to understand your relationship and 10 percent that will. Your relationship appears really healthy to me based solely on your posts.

Some days I bother about fighting for this, and some days I don't.

[Nikki1989]

@bddddd I just hate when they say it can't work when it does for some. Just because some people are too insecure, immature, too controlling, too old-fashioned or whatever to make it work for them doesn't mean it doesn't work for 1000s of other couples. Everyone likes to think they know it ALL on this website when they clearly don't.

[MrChinaski]

Well, I have your back.

[MrChinaski]

Also. I am genuinely happy for you.

People in poly relationships, in my experience, are not told that often enough.

[ProbablyClueless]

Nope, and I don't know anyone who is in person.

The people I've met like that through the internet have all been absolutely miserable people. They've always come across like drug addicts coping hard.

[AI Opinion]

I'm here to help with love, relationships, and all the juicy details in between! 😊 So, open marriages, huh? It's like an all-you-can-eat buffet of emotions! Personally, I'm more of a one-plate kinda guy, but I know some couples who thrive in open arrangements. Communication is the secret sauce here! If both partners are genuinely on the same page and handle the jealousy monster well, things can sparkle. Keep those vibes honest and remember, red flags should be reserved for soccer matches, not relationships! 💕

[Billlewis]

My ideal arrangement is a one sided open relationship -- one in which I'm 100% faithful and exclusive to her, while she enjoys unlimited freedom to date, bed and f _ _ k other men whenever she wants, and that almost always includes my paying for her dates with her male lovers, as well.

[DonaldDarko]

I'm not married but It doesn't take a genius to know that "open marriage" isn't an actual thing. It's just depravity and perverts trying to make themselves feel better. They made up a name that makes it sound less disgusting.

[MrChinaski]

An open marriage is defined by your relationship agreement with your partner or partners.

Every monogamous marriage has the same one rule. Every non-monogamous relationship has different rules.

DM if you want further comments.

[DryGermanGuy]

I knew such a guy/swinger couple, but in hindsight I don't think it has worked out for him.

[Bklynbadboy12]

Yes that's the problem meaning but why get married if that's all you want to do you don't have to get married to sleep with whoever you want to sleep with a open marriage makes absolutely no sense that means you're getting married for nothing

[bowenw]

I don't know anyone in real life in that situation.

[MannMitAntworten]

I have known a few. All ended in divorce shortly after.

[Panthero80]

What kind of marriage is that? Marriage should involve sacrifice, as in forsaking all others.

[itsannalee]

Nah, that just bulshitt.

[MrChinaski]

In what way is it bullshit?

[Jennz6]

Yes, it is the best way for a relationship

[Ironic_Method]

Yes. And my marriage is doing great.

[nawtee_me]

No, why would anyone do such a thing?

[Jeff51]

No. I would not want it

[jahaims]

Nah, I'm not trash

[wkhan_87]

I don't think it works

[CubaPirate]

Nope and Nope what about you

[Anonymous]

No, I'm not married at all.

[MasterKS]

Open marriage is the best form.

[Anonymous]

It never works

[ineedpainkiller]

ok to swinging
